Where are we going? (✔)

What's that sound?

I had been in the orphanage for two months when I lost hope of my parents coming back to get me. Of them "cooling down" after everything has happened. I mean, they still loved me... Right? I was looking out the window when I felt someone enter the room. Not like in a creepy supernatural way, just like someone was watching me or something. A change in the atmosphere.

I turned to look at who was there. It was a girl that couldn't be much older than me, and she was looking at me curiously. She had a bag in her hand and was walking to the other bed in my room. Oh yay. A roommate. Not. The girl gives me a polite, small smile and starts to put away her clothes. Seeing as how Mrs.Mage isn't giving her the "warm" welcome I got when I first came here, I'm going to guess this isn't her first "caring house".

What's a "caring house" you ask? It's what they call orphanages for unwanted kids with powers. When put into a house, they rank you on three things: level of powers, gender, and age level. The elders handle placing us in the correct homes and we stay where we are put.

Mrs.Mage reminds me a lot of that ugly looking principal off of the movie Matilda. She was a bigger woman and she was mean as all get out. She obviously didn't want this to be her job when she was going through training for the new generations.

Everyone who has our powers ultimately go through the following stages: learning you have powers, learning to control them, and teaching others to control them in the future. Not everyone who has to teach get put in the same place, hance why Mrs.Mage is here instead of being a base trainer or a fail and success tutor. There are more jobs that the teachers can have, I just imagine her being more in her element somewhere she can torture and ridicule us without having any repercusuions from her actions.

When we left the "caring house" we had to be very careful not to get caught. Leaving results in horrible punishments that are only rumored. Everyone was too scared to leave because of the stories told about leaving. 

We left in the early morning/ late night hours. Around two am. We knew our best luck was to get away when Mrs.Mage was fast asleep. I swear for someone assigned to possibly dangerous element children she could sleep through and attomic bomb. There are thirteen of us wbo left out of eighteen. Yes, it's that bad. 

When i woke up on the forest floor a few hours aftef we'd stopped at a good distance from our "caring house". None of us have phones or watches, part of the rules of living where we did. I got up and saw a few of the other girls already up and eatong their energy bars we had stalked up on before leaving. There was only about six girls still sleeping. I decided to start packing uo my blanket and other supplies i had gotten out. I stand up and stretch once im done.

After everyone wakes up and eats, we all pack up and start moving again. We cant stand to be in one place for too long. We might get caught.

After about two hours of walking, one of the air elementals stops and shushes up. The earth elements crouch downand try to see if something is coming from feeling the ground. Oh great. These girls aren't the brightest. If it's an elder after us, they'll feel them kick into their elements and find us inno time. I roll my eyes as i hide a behind a tree.
